We love exploring the extremes of selvedge denim. They represent a totally unique denim experience, and that’s what any selvedge denim lover appreciates. We’ve gone monstrously heavy, up to 26 ounces, to get that huge weight, bombproof feel. Today, however, we’re showing you the other end of the spectrum. This is the Japan Featherweight and it’s a selvedge denim experience you need to have.
Note: We recommend sizing up one from your usual Gustin size.
At first glance, Japan Featherweight stands out as a stellar, traditional raw denim. A bright indigo warp and crisp white weft give it a lively and classic surface. The overall color takes on a true union blue shade that’s very vintage. The starched base gives it that classic raw denim shine and you’d pick up on some nice creases behind the knees that set in after just a day of wear. It’s a stellar fabric just from the surface appearance. But that alone is not what makes this denim a true experience. 
At a feathery 6 ounces, this is one of the lightest weight selvedge denims we've ever offered. The feel is totally unique. It's instantly comfortable in a way that you wouldn't believe raw denim could ever be. You can move easily in it and sense how well it will breathe. The weight makes it the most wearable warm weather denim we've tried. What's greatest is how the breezy feel is balanced with a true raw denim look.
This is definitely the best of both worlds on a warm day and a denim experience you don't want to miss.
*Note unlike most brands we don't use vanity sizing for our pants. If you're a first time customer we highly recommend checking out our fit guide.

What Customers Are Saying
"So grateful for this brand! Love the fit, finish, and quality of everything I've ever bought from here. Moreover, the pricing enables people like me to have access to quality goods which are often outside of the reach of the most working people."
-Joshua C. | Verified Buyer
"My 1968s came in the mail yesterday…They're amazing! From the fit (thank you for all the hand-holding!) to the detailing, I'm blown away. Just tremendous quality at any price point, but the value here is off the charts."
-Scott S. | Verified Buyer
"I wanted to tell you how much I love the rainbow nep natural t-shirts. After over a year of trying to find my everyday t-shirt, this is finally it. I have four of them now and they are basically all I wear."
-Anne F. | Verified Buyer
